Old English Bulldog

Country of Origin

The Olde English Bulldogge is an attempt to ‘breed back’ the English Bulldog as it appeared in the early 1800’s (known as the ‘Regency Period Bull Baiter’), but with the mild personality of today’s breed. The English Bulldog (or simply ‘Bulldog’) was bred in England for bull baiting, a popular gambling ‘sport’ in which one or more dogs were matched up against a chained bull (or bear). The Olde English Bulldogge is recognized by the APRI, CKC, OREBA, NKC, and CKC. The most successful line was developed by David Leavitt in the 1970’s and is half English Bulldog with the other half encompassing Bullmastiff, American Bulldog and American Pit Bull Terrier. This line has since proved successful in obedience trials and therapeutic service.

The Olde English Bulldogge’s shoulder height and weight varies, but it is usually at least 41 cm (16 in) tall and 23 kg (50 lbs) in weight. It has a compact, athletic body and large head with the distinctive Bulldog face—short, wide muzzle, undershot jaw, and wide, droopy face giving the appearance of a frown. The Olde English Bulldogge has a short tail, rounded chest, and compact, muscular body. It is distinguished from other Bulldog mixes by its full pump handle tail.

Coat
